Forts Along the Lower Penobscot River of Maine

Maine is home to many forts that date back to the Revolutionary War days and earlier. Most of these forts are located along the Maine coast where they could protect entrances to rivers or harbors. One blogger from Portland, Maine has described a day trip to two of these forts - Fort Point of Stockton Springs and Fort Knox of Prospect. Her post includes links to the state park web page describing the forts, wonderful pictures of the forts and suggestions on how to enjoy the trip. See "Around the Lower Penobscot River, Maine" to view her informative post. Visit this link for more information on historic and coastal forts of Maine.
